He was happily blurting out all his phrases he knows and I'm trying to teach him a new one.

I'm at the computer and he's going on and on, over and over, what he knows...so I blurted back to him...Chicken Little, Whatcha doin?

and he shocked me when he said... "What?" and waited for me, I said again..."Whatcha doin'?" and he again replied..."What?"

It totally cracked me up and I just had to share.

Congrats that is great.....
Just keep on and soon he will add on
Chicken Little, Whatcha doin?
He will soon latch on and begin to add them together one by one, even if he gets them mixed up in the beginning, you keep on saying it correctly, slowly and clearly.
Keep up the great work, both of you

That’s amazing, you’ll have to get more videos of Chicken Little, I love listening to him. I remember when my CAG Russell first started talking, I was as proud as I was when my non-feathered kids started talking.
I love his name BTW :)

Oh, if you were my neighbor, I'd be driving you nuts with my bragging! LOLOL Yes, I'm TOTALLY excited about Chicken Little picking up talking so well and I brag about him as any proud Mama would :D

And thank you, I love listening to him too, he wakes us every morning at daybreak with his chatter, truly the BEST alarm clock I could ever have.

I'll take more videos after he's got "What'cha Doin?" down...I realized he does not know how to say "Hello" so I think I'm going to start saying "Hello, What'cha Doin?" See if he picks it up.

I swear this morning too...he was babbling on and he belted out a few screams and I said...Chicken! NO! I'm sure my ears heard right...he said "UH OH! and was quiet for like 3 minutes. ROFLOLOL!

He never ceases to amaze me. Don't get me wrong though, we love all our birds soo flippin' much, equally and each for their different qualities.

I'll get a new video soon,

Have a good one!

Well, I just wanted to update...

Chicken Little is now consistently saying, "What'cha Doin?"

I realized he doesn't know how to say "Hello" yet! LOLOL!!

So now I'm saying "Hello, what'cha doin?"

I'm so impressed with how quickly he's picking this up!
